San Lorenzo Cathedral

Striped Gothic cathedral with a treasury claiming the Holy Grail

The striped black-and-white Gothic facade of San Lorenzo anchors the old city. Inside, the Treasury museum holds one of the finest collections of medieval sacred art in Italy, including the Sacro Catino — a green glass dish long claimed to be the Holy Grail. The cathedral itself is free; the treasury charges a small admission.
